Crowd-funding campaign launched for 'Only in El Paso' Web series

Destination El Paso, the city's tourism and convention bureau, and KCOS-TV, El Paso's Public Broadcasting System affiliate, have teamed up to raise $20,000 through crowd-funding by the end of June to support development of a new Internet series about El Paso.

The "Only in El Paso" series will begin in July, and have 10 episodes each produced by a different digital storyteller selected from 30 applicants, Destination El Paso officials reported. Each episode will tell a story about something or someone unique to El Paso.

The videos will be shown on the KCOS YouTube Channel, and linked to the PBS Digital Studios YouTube Channel.
